Interdisciplinary environmental and sustainability (IES) programs are different from other fields because they focus on a complex integration of humanities, social, natural sciences concepts centered the interactions coupled human systems. The interdisciplinary nature IES does not lend itself to traditional discipline-specific concept inventory frameworks for critically evaluating preconceptions learning. We discuss results first phase research project develop next generation important...
Women continue to remain underrepresented in geoscience degree attainment. Several disciplines (specifically geology) require participation 'field experiences' which students and faculty engage for weeks a remote location study geologic processes. Although any student is welcome participate, studies find evidence of these outdoor spaces embodying masculine domain. In this exploratory study, we examine the exclusive inclusive gendered discourses used by 15 36 US that describe their perception...
